Heart Attack Lawsuits in Pennsylvania

Philadelphia Medical Malpractice Lawyers with Over Five Decades of Success

A heart attack, coronary, or myocardial infarction (MI) occurs when a part
of the heart muscle is not getting the blood flow or oxygen it needs to
survive or work right. If a heart attack, coronary, or myocardial infarction
is not diagnosed and treated right away, the heart muscle can become permanently
damaged or die. At The Beasley Firm, our

years of hospital emergency room and doctor or primary office experience.
This collective expertise has contributed to our great success in the
medical malpractice field. We even hold the record for the two highest

Symptoms of a Heart Attack

Most people have a preconceived notion that a person undergoing a heart
attack may experience a feeling of something heavy sitting on their chest,
crushing chest pain, or the sweats. However, not every heart attack patient
experiences those symptoms. A heart attack can present itself in many
different ways. Women especially experience a wide variety of heart attack
symptoms that present themselves differently than male heart attack symptoms.

The nurses and doctors on our medical malpractice team have seen patients
who have suffered a heart attack and experienced the following "uncommon" symptoms:

Jaw Pain

Nausea

Thumb Pain

Shoulder Pain

Elbow Pain

Shortness of Breath

Indigestion

Ear Pain

Not every patient just complains of chest pain. The certified emergency
room nurses on our legal team have seen thousands of ways patients, just
like you or a loved one, can present to the emergency room while having
a heart attack or MI.

Heart Attack Warning Signs & Risks

In the emergency room or doctor's office, an EKG or cardiogram is performed
to get an inside look into what your heart is doing or not doing. The
EKG, ECG, or cardiogram shows if your heart is in distress, not getting
enough oxygen, or simply having a heart attack (MI). Many times, the doctors,
nurses, or physician's assistants do not see the subtle changes on
your EKG that shows you are having an angina attack or heart attack. Angina
is a warning sign that you are high risk for developing a heart attack,
due to a lack of oxygen to your heart. Many days can pass until a cardiologist
reads your cardiogram and sees the potential damage. By that time, the
damage may already be done.
